Ramadan is on us again

Well here i set in the middle of the second largest city in Iraq in the middle of Ramadan. Well the natives have been quite for a few days only a few explosions in the last day or two so thats good. The few days before it started were interesting to say the least. You could almost set your watch by them 0600 to 0630 at least 3 or 4 incoming rockets or mortars every morning. Well maybe they will be quite for a while and we can get on with the work at hand. The dating world has changed so much in 15 years i don't know if i will be able to get back into it but will try. This is about the only way i have to meet new people since I'm here and the women here are off limits to me because of my position in the company no fraternization with any one in your chain of contact and since i basically have contact with every one in the area its hard. But will see where it goes from here hope to meet some nice women and see what happens but like i said with my situation it will be tough on any one and i understand that so it may get lonely for a while but we will have to see what the future brings.
